Carnival of the NBA #50

This week, the Carnival of the NBA comes home to its original location, Blog a Bull. I Want to be a Sports Agent has only been a cotton candy vendor for a few of these Carnivals (we got in on the bandwagon late) and Matt at Blog a Bull does a nice job revealing some history behind the Carnival way before we were on board. We still wonder when he and others will realize that we are an impostor and not a pure basketball blog like the others in on the parade.

Definitely head over to the Carnival to check out what Matt writes and some of the great stories that he links to. [Carnival of the NBA #50]. I Want to be a Sports Agent made it into the carnival with our recent post on Andrei Kirilenko and his bitching about Jerry Sloan and the Jazz [AK47 Fully Loaded].

Now for a couple of notes:

  1. We know that the forum is down right now. We are in the process of fixing whatever went wrong. Hopefully you will soon have a venue to communicate with other readers and contributors. For now, please send any comments, questions, suggestions, to [email protected].
  2. If you have not yet signed up for AccessAthletes.com, make sure to do so. We have received some nice press so far and we are gaining more MVPs and Sports Fans by the day. Sign up, edit your profile, and start building your entourage.
